Was neolib hate forged as a right-wing astroturf reaction to the 2000s hate toward neocons?

I genuinely can't wrap my head around the people who throw this, and I thought I was pretty progressive-left. Do those who use neo-lib as an insult disparage well-regulated social democracies such as Nordic nations which blend regulated markets with select-nationalized elements?

Neo-liberal is a political ideology based around free-market capitalism. Reagan and Thatcher are good examples. Pretty right wing economically, theoretically socially agnostic, but experience shows that neo-libs will happily leverage bigotry to fulfil their policy goals.

Libs in this meme comes from a leftist perspective. Anyone who supports capitalist society or ideology is considered at a minimum to be a liberal.
